One of the great American songwriters"- Bob Harris, BBC Radio

Two strong local singer-songwriters, Jon Koonce and Dan Weber, will open for Trooper.Koonce is an Oregon Music Hall of Fame member for his early work with Johnny and the Distractions.Since the 70s Jon has built parallel careers fronting rock bands and singing his own songs solo on acoustic stages across the country.His gritty blue-collar approach to rock carries over in his solo work with strong unabashed statements about right, wrong, truth and justice, supported by clean, clear energetic guitar work. http://www.jonkoonce.com.

Dan Weber is the classic mid-life overnight sensation.At the tender age of 43 he's been picking up songwriting awards and filling his calendar with appearances in clubs all across the country.During his latest recording session, legendary banjo and slide player Tony Furtado asked Dan how long he'd been working on this project. Dan said "I answered '43 years, 10 months, 6 days and 2 hours'. I was probably only off by an hour or two." http://www.danwebermusic.com
